Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome back to movie Mike's movie podcast. I
am your host Movie Mike. Today I want to share
with you what I believe to be the top five
years in movie history and my top five movies from
each of those years. In the movie review, it's the
film I've been foaming at the mouth to talk about.
I'll give my spoiler free review, very careful to be
spoiler free thoughts on weapons and in the trailer park

(00:23):
we'll be talking about Predator bad Lands, which looks awesome
to me. This movie came out of nowhere and I
can't wait to see it. So thank you for being here,
thank you for being subscribed, shout out to the Monday
Morning Movie crew. And now let's talk movies from the
Nustville Podcast network and this is movie Mike Movie Podcast.
As I put together a list of what I believe

(00:44):
to be the top five years in movie history, meaning
if I could only keep one year worth of movies,
what years would I keep? And obviously it's going to
be rooted in the years that I was alive I
was born in nineteen ninety one have been really hard
for me and I probably would have not been truthful
to myself that I would have went back to the seventies,

(01:06):
it went back to like the golden age of Hollywood.
I just feel like that wouldn't be authentically me. So
even though I considered those years, I just couldn't bring
myself to put those on this list. Even though there
are some historic years. But that being said, I still
don't feel like these other years that came before it
are even close to these years. Let's get right into

(01:26):
the list. At number five, I have twenty fourteen. And
why twenty fourteen is so important to me? This was
an era for me where I watched so many movies
on Blu Ray. To me, I associate twenty fourteen with
being my year of the Blu Ray, and it was
highly influential on the red Box, which is now gone.

(01:47):
What would happen with red Box? Oh? Man? It just
kind of sent there are no physical places to go
get movies like this anymore. It's all gone, it's all streaming.
But I was never a big Blockbuster kid because my
parents didn't want to pay for a membership. We also
didn't want to deal with late fees. But when I
was an adult in college in twenty fourteen, I would
walk to the seven eleven to get some snacks, and

(02:07):
I'd always grab a red Box movie, or if I
was going to the grocery store, shout out to HGB
in Texas, I would get a red Box movie. They
always had the latest ones. And it was so easy
because for me, being a person with social anxiety, worst
thing you could possibly make me do is call somebody
on the phone, like I would never order pizza as
a kid. Oh, whenever that all went to online, that

(02:29):
was just like a dream for me. And the great
thing about the red Box is you don't have to
talk to anybody. You just go up to the kiosk
find which movie or even video game you wanted to rent.
And I just have so many great memories of renting
red Box movies. In twenty fourteen, my top five movies
of the year, which I all watched from red Box

(02:49):
except for maybe the ones that came out later in
the year. But at number five I have Whiplash, fantastic movie.
Who knew you could make a movie about drumming be
so hence filled great performances from JK. Simmons and Miles Taylor.
Fantastic movie. Next best drumming movie would probably be The
Sound of Metal, but I was way later. At number four,

(03:11):
I have Fury, which is my favorite war movie of
all time, Brad Pitt Shila buff. I just love the
greediness of that movie. And after watching that movie in
twenty fourteen, I wanted Brad Pitt's haircut, even though couldn't
pull it off, and really it probably looks so good
in him because he is so good looking. At number three,
I have Nightcrawler, which is the best Jake Gyllenhall movie
of all time. Blazy guy trying to make money by

(03:33):
covering crime scenes and then he gets a little bit
too into it, keeps trying to get the bloodiest shot
because blood cells on the news, so he keeps taking
it a step further and further and then does some
really unethical things. A fantastic movie. And then at number two,
I have Guardians of the Galaxy, which when this movie
came out in twenty fourteen, it shook up Marvel a

(03:53):
little bit, which was really just being super established obviously
with two thousand and being the first Marvel movie. But
in twenty fourteen, this was like, Okay, we have something
different here, and it just changed the game. James Gunn
started to become dominant in the comic book movie world.
But at number one, my favorite movie from twenty fourteen

(04:14):
is Interstellar. I did see it's coming out later this
year in Imax, and that would be a real treat
because this is one I didn't watch in theaters. I
watch it on red Box, and obviously with anything Christopher Nolan,
seeing it on the big screen you get that full effect.
But some other notable movies from twenty fourteen, you have
John Wick The Amazing Spider Man two, which back on

(04:34):
Spider Man Day, we had the first look at Tom
Hollins's new Spider Man suit and it looks so good.
It kind of looks a little bit of what we
got with Toby Maguire. It's like a great mix of
that and also what the Spider Man suit has turned
into now. But Amazing Spider Man two was fantastic, even
though at the time I think a lot of people
talk crap on it. We also had Gone Girl in

(04:56):
this year, Had to Train Your Dragon to the Grand
Budapest Hotel from Wes Anderson, one of his better movies,
a top five movie of his American Sniper, which is
another one of my favorite war movies. The Edge of
Tomorrow with Tom Cruise, which I don't think I fully
got when it came out in twenty fourteen, but maybe
three or four years ago I rewatched and visited that

(05:18):
movie again, and that's a really good movie. It has
such a generic title though, you just see Tom Cruise
in the Edge of Tomorrow and it really doesn't tell
you much about that movie, but it's all about him,
like reliving the same day and trying to crack this timecode.
You also have The Winter Soldier. It follows one of
the most underrated horror movies of the twenty tens, Days

(05:39):
of Future, Pass from X Men twenty two, Jump Street,
in the Hunger Games World, we got Mocking Jades, a
lego movie, Big Hero six. There are so many great
memories in twenty fourteen Transformers Age of Extinction, which isn't
the best Transformers movie, but at this time in twenty fourteen,
I was convinced that every Transformers movie I went to
go see in theaters was gonna be great. The premise

(06:00):
of this movie, I just do not like Mark Wahlberg
in it. We also had Annabelle, Godzilla, The Theory of Everything, Boyhood,
which I do believe is a bit overrated, but I
watched it before everybody was rating it so high. I
enjoyed it. But that's a movie that not a whole
lot of people talk about anymore, with it being still groundbreaking.
At the time. You usually had some comedy bangers like Neighbors,

(06:23):
the first Paddington movie came out, The Interview, which was
highly controversial, Tusk, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes TMNT,
the live action Michael Bay One, which was kind of
like a different version of Transformers but with Ninja Turtles,
A Million Ways to Die in the West, which was
a movie from the creator of Family Guy, Seth McFarland.
Not the greatest of comedy movies, but I do remember

(06:45):
going to see that movie in theaters. Saint Vincent, which
starred Bill Murray, and Wild all those movies from twenty fourteen.
That brings it in at number five on my list.
Next up on my list at number four is nineteen
ninety nine. Now we were just arguing the most influential
movie years. I think you can make an argument for
nineteen ninety nine being the most influential year because it

(07:09):
closed out the nineties and really set us up for
the two thousands. And gave us a lot of movies
and styles that people have been trying to recreate ever since.
This time was so edgy and cool and black and dark,
where people just wanted kind of still the coolness of
the nineties without the cheese, and that is what we got.
More going into the two thousands with my top five

(07:31):
movies from nineteen ninety nine. At number five is an
underrated Disney movie as well, primarily because of the music.
It's Tarzan. That was one of my favorite movies as
a kid and as a family. Watched that movie so much.
That movie is a classic that I'm glad they haven't
tried to remake or make a lot. Well, they did
kind of make a live action version that wasn't Disney,

(07:52):
but that movie was so good with the music of
Phil Collins, great voice acting. I have that one at
number five. At number four, I have American Pie, which
was the quintessential teen hookup movie and everybody wanted to
be like American Pie. And I think now when we
think of the greatest comedies ever in the movies we
kind of craved the most. Where people say, why don't
they make great comedies anymore? I think oftentimes we're talking

(08:15):
about movies like American Pie and the trails that were
blazed in that film, not only with its comedy, with
its ensemble cast, but also the music. It really meant
something in nineteen ninety nine to get your song in
a movie, and this was a great reflection on the times.
I mean, blank onin eighty two is actually in this movie.
Their song Mutt is also in this movie. And then

(08:37):
when it came time for American Pie too, it became
more of a thing, and you had bands like some
forty one New Felt Glory, which were so popular and
so influential on me at that time. So it also
takes me back to that era when it did mean
something to have a song featured in a movie, and
now just kind of like it doesn't even matter anymore
unless you're James Gunn and using songs for a very
specific purpose. At number three, I have Toy Story two,

(09:00):
which was a movie that almost didn't see the light
of day because again in the nineties, still computer technology
and animation was still relatively new. They didn't have it
fully figured out on how to back things up, and
this entire movie was almost deleted entirely. But luckily one
of the people working on the movie. One of the
animators had a kid and was working from their home

(09:24):
office and had a copy of this movie on their
home computer. Otherwise they would have had to start all
over and redo this movie entirely. At number two, I
find a lot of movies from nineteen ninety nine that
I resonate with or all animated, because at number two
I have south Park, Bigger, Longer and Uncut. This movie

(09:44):
taught me how to curse at a very young age.
I should not have watched this movie at eight years old.
This was a movie as a kid that I just
had playing on a loop. Not at my parents' house.
They did not owe me watching or knew about this movie.
But at my cousin's house, we would watch this movie
all the time. Time we'd be playing Tony Hawk pro
Skater or Grand Theft Auto and just watching south Park, Bigger, Longer,

(10:06):
and Uncut. I wish they would make another full length
animated movie like this and put it out in theaters.
At number one, though, it's fight Club. Fight Club is
the quintessential nineteen ninety nine movie, and I know some
people are gonna say, well, that's obviously the matrix for
me it is Fight Club. I don't really have a
deep connection with The Matrix. I Love Again and it

(10:28):
can appreciate how influential that movie was, but I would
not put that in my top five of movies from
nineteen ninety nine. But you also had, of course The Matrix,
like I just mentioned, Big Daddy, The Mummy, Nodding Hill,
Austin Powers, The Spy Who Shagged Me, a great comedy movie,
The Green Mile Johnny su Nami, which I rewatched pretty recently.
That movie still holds up. Some parks are a little

(10:50):
bit weird, but I think that's the case for any
Disney Channel movie. And it's also weird seeing how unsupportive
his dad was, Like, Dude, your dad's just kind of
a bad dad, just moved than you and doesn't care,
has no remorse and doesn't want you to end up
like your grandfather his dad. Like that whole dynamic was
a little bit weird. So there are some things that
I also didn't notice, like the two brothers, the one

(11:12):
that owns the shop on one side of the mountain
and the other one that owns the shop on the
other side of the mountain. One of them is a snowboarder.
One of them is a skier, and it turns out
they're played by the same actor that blew my mind.
I didn't realize that until now. You also had other
Disney Channel movies from nineteen ninety nine like Xenon and
Smart House. All this was like my era of Disney Channel.

(11:34):
Also in ninety nine, you had American Beauty Eyes, White
Shut Ten, Things I Hate About You, The Sixth Sense,
Double Jeopardy. That movie blew my mind as a kid,
The Boodendogs, Saints Dogma Life. I love this movie with
Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence and the late Bernie Mack.
You also have Lake Placid Varsity Blues, which is my
favorite football movie of all time, Never Been Kissed, which

(11:56):
is my favorite rom com of all time. And then
you have these really random nineties movies that I love,
and it was usually because I watched them on cable,
But movies like Deep Blue Sea. I've seen that movie
so many times. I don't think we ever rented it.
I never saw it in theaters, but for sure watched
it probably on USA so many times in the nineties
and then probably carrying into the two thousands. Movies like

(12:18):
Office Space, October Sky, She's all that, the Iron Giant,
but the Blair Witch Project, Deuce Bigelows, Stuart little Man
on the Moon, mistery Man, Blue Streak, which is my
favorite Martin Lawrence movie of all time. Any given Sunday,
Idle Hands, Detroit Rock City. Nineteen ninety nine is a
great year. And again it's just because three and four
and one are so just top level to me, because

(12:40):
ninety nine is stack. But still, this is a really
tough list to make. It comes in at number four.
At number three, I have twenty nineteen. This year is
very special to me. That is the year we launched
this podcast, and it was a year that I didn't
know how good we had it until movies shut down
in twenty twenty. My favorit favorite five films from this year.

(13:02):
At number five, I have Once upon a Time in
Hollywood Quentin Tarantino. He said he was gonna make his
final movie. It was supposed to be about a movie critic.
I'm like, all right, I'm here, I'm ready cast me
in your movie. And then he's like, I'm not making
that movie anymore. But it's been too long since we've
had a Quentin Tarantino movie a fantastic in theater experience
and also has really great rewatchability. Wild thing looking back

(13:25):
on that movie now is how many people were in
it that are such big stars now, like Austin Butler,
Sidney Sweeney, recent Oscar winning actor Mikey Madison. They were
all cast in this movie and have smaller parts in it,
but now they're all huge and could be carrying their
own movie. It was almost like a prerequisite to be
a star in five years. At number four, I have

(13:46):
uncut Gems Adam Sandler in a dramatic role and in
a stressful role like this is my favorite, speaking of
stressful movies. At number three, I have Joker, the dive
that this movie took from Joker one to Joker two.
In my head, Joker two doesn't. I can't allow that
movie to ruin what was created in the first one.

(14:06):
One of my favorite in theater experiences of all time.
It just left my jaw on the floor and really
rattled me so much so that it was a really
long time, probably two years until I was able to
actually rewatch this movie. It is a movie that I
didn't want to go back and revisit so soon and
have my perspective changed because I left that movie. I
gave my review and I gave it a five out

(14:27):
of five, and I stood by that for a very
long time, and I didn't want my opinion change because
I knew how it made me feel in that moment,
the energy going into that movie, with it being so
controversial in some of the ways that it depicted violence,
but I think it's just a great character study on
somebody going through a lot of hard mental struggles, dealing
with an illness and then kind of inciting a riot

(14:50):
as a result of that. But yes, for me, this
is a perfect movie, and Joker Too does not exist.
At number two. I have Parasite, which was really influence
on me giving international films more of a chance. And
it wasn't that I was against them. I was never
really against watching movies with subtitles, But it was this

(15:11):
movie that really just made me think, like, why haven't
I been seeking out movies from other countries, and why
have I been hesitant to do that? Why do I
look at them at sometimes being homework. This movie changed
all that. And the thing it really changed with me
is I always watch movies now in the language that

(15:31):
they are made in with English subtitles unless it's animated.
I feel like animation is a little bit different because
when you watch an animated movie, oftentimes they get actual
American actors, established actors to revoice those characters, and they
treated the same way they would treat any movie. But
when they do just Spanish dubs or English dubs, oftentimes

(15:54):
it's just random people. They could still be actors, it's
still a job for them, but I don't feel like
they capture the same emotion that the actors do that
are actually playing the parts in these countries that these
movies are being released in. So I feel to get
that real emotion, I have to watch it in their language.
Even though I don't understand what they are saying, I

(16:15):
feel the emotion that paired with me reading it allows
me to enjoy these movies at times more than I
do just standard American movies because I'm so dialed in
because I'm reading and also hearing and feeling their emotion
and the way that they speak in the acting. So
that is something I always do. Even though Netflix or
other streaming services sometimes give you that ability to also

(16:37):
change what you were hearing. I want to hear their
actual voice in their language, so that is something also
that Parasite has influenced me, and it's really stuck with
me since twenty nineteen. Number two is where I have
that movie. At number one, I have Avengers Endgame, and
depending on the day, I would battle on which one
of those is two and which one of those is one.
But where I placed them on for this list is

(16:58):
because at least once a year I rewatched Endgame, and
I would probably rewatch it more if it wasn't three
hours long. So in total in my life I have
rewatched Endgame more. So I have to put it at one.
More notable movies from twenty nineteen some of my favorites
Detective Pikachu obviously, Spider Man Far from Home. I think

(17:19):
the Best Picture category was one of the best, at
least in the last ten years. Parasite was also the
winner of the Best Picture Award that year, but he
had Ford v Ferrari. The Irishman watched all three plus
hours of that on Netflix. Jojo Rabbit Joker also made
it into the Best Picture category. Little Women Marriage Story,
which now I hear they're using a clip of Scarlett

(17:41):
Johansson to like word away like wildlife apparently like wolves
and other things like freak out when they were to
hear that scene, So that's an unexpected result of that movie.
Nineteen seventeen Beautifully Shot also Once upon a Time in
Hollywood was in that category. You also had movies like
Midsommar Knives Out, John Wick Chapter three, The Rise of Skywalker,

(18:03):
Lighthouse oh Man, Willem Dafoe, and Robert Pattinson Going at
It It Chapter two, which was another really great horror
movie experience, even though I love part one so much more,
that one was just so cinis during the beginning. I
love seeing that one in theaters. Movies like Book, Smart
Bomb Show, Jumanji, Next Level, Toy Story four, even though
I believe it should have ended a Toy Story three,

(18:26):
The live action Lion King Godzella, King of Monsters, Frozen two,
which I think is the better Frozen movie. We finally
got the sequel to Zombie Land, Double Tap came out
that year, Sound a Metal, which I mentioned earlier, Annabel
Comes Home. You also have Fighting with My Family, which
is based upon the WWE Superstar page, which I am
so back into WWE now. It started with The Unreal

(18:49):
Show on Netflix. Which I finished and loved, and I
think they put that out perfectly because it led right
into Summer Slam. And ever since then, I've been watching
Monday Night ragain. I feel like I'm ten years old
all over again, which is on par for this episode.
You said us, Richard Jewell at Astra Aladdin the Platform
Ready or Not Man twenty nineteen was stacked at number two,

(19:11):
I have nineteen ninety four. Looking at this list, it
is hard to believe that nineteen ninety four was real.
And out of all the years on this list, if
I could go back and experience just one year by
seeing all of these movies in theaters for the first time,
it would be nineteen ninety four because I've seen the
least amount of these in theaters, obviously because I was

(19:33):
three years old. But I'm gonna give you my top
five to start this, because there are just mountains and
mountains of so many good movies in nineteen ninety four,
for one actor in particular, single handily their best year
in movies of all time. But at number five, I
have Forrest Gump. Think about that, at number five, I
have one of the greatest movies of all time. That

(19:55):
is how stacked this year is at number four. Now
people are gonna argue that number five I was better
than my number four. But to me personally, I have
Angels in the Outfield, which I believe is the best
baseball movie of all time. Angels in the Outfield could
not be made today, not for a political sense, just
because a movie as ridiculous as it sounds made sense

(20:17):
in nineteen ninety four. We were in an era where
we could believe that a team would say, Okay, this
kid sees angels, we're gonna give him this signal. We're
gonna make them come to every single baseball game. A
plot as ridiculous as that did not feel ridiculous in
nineteen ninety four. I just watched this movie so much
as a kid, and then later as an adult, found

(20:39):
it so hard to even track it down. It wasn't
until fairly recently, maybe in the last year year and
a half, that this movie was even available to watch
on Disney Plus. So it almost felt like did I
even experience this movie whatsoever? But it also has a
lot of emotion in it, aside from all the fun
of people running around trying to catch baseballs that are
being thrown around by the angels in the outfield. Literally.

(21:02):
You also have a story about a son who just
wants to be reunited with his dad, but instead he's
living in foster care and his dad is just a
dirt bag. Tells him, you know this team that is
historically bad, that just can't win a game to save
their lives. If they're ever good, we can be a
family again. And then that team ends up being really good,
and dad is still like, Nah, I'm gonna leave you

(21:24):
behind and leave you bawling in the courtroom. What a
ridiculous plot, What a ridiculous premise. There is no reason
this movie should pack as emotional of a punch that
it does. But I have that one at number four.
At number three is pulp fiction with Quentin Tarantino dropped
this banger, and then everybody wanted a piece of them.
Everybody wanted to rip them off. And I feel like

(21:44):
there have been so many directors in the action genre
who have tried to replicate this movie and just can't
do it because they don't have the vision of Quentin Tarantino.
But a movie that just has unorthodox storytelling, has such
powerful and dynamic characters, such memorable lines, from the very
beginning and images it is probably his masterpiece. Probably has

(22:07):
other movies that are better technically, maybe at times have
higher action, or without this movie, we would have never
gotten any of those. And number two, I have Dumb
and Dumber my favorite comedy movie, not only of the nineties,
but my favorite comedy of all time. And again a
movie that could not be made today because things that
we found as funny and ridiculous in this movie just

(22:28):
would not work. And I also think it captures what
comedy is and why a comedy movie like this does
work is because you have two people who are just
utter buffoons who you try to figure out which one
is dumb and which one is dumber because they're both idiots,
but everybody else in the movie is normal, and everybody
else finds them so ridiculous and gets frustrated with them

(22:50):
and doesn't understand them, and they play the part of
us as the audience. But the fact that you have
that contrast between these characters, because if it was just
them being stupid all the time, but also having everybody
in this world being as stupid as they are or
accepting of how dumb they are, this movie would not work.
That is another problem I had with Happy Gilmore two

(23:14):
is there was no contrast between anybody. Everybody was just
dumb and doing ridiculous things, and there was no one
there to say, hey, like what is happening here? Like
why is everything so ridiculous right now? Which there was
that and Happy Gilmour won. It just wasn't all ridiculous
all the time. I really think that's kind of the
source of why some movies now aren't as funny as

(23:35):
they were back twenty thirty years ago, is because there's
no longer that contrast. You have to make a comedy
movie now and think everything has to be wilding out
all the time. It has to be parody. But dumb
and dumber is how you do it. That's at number
two and number one. My favorite movie of nineteen ninety
four is The Lion King. I still say it is

(23:56):
the best made Disney movie of all time. Not my favorite,
Lela Stitch will always be my favorite. But I think
when you look at storytelling, even though some people argue
that The Lion King just basically ripped off the Land
Before Time, that even the makers of the Land Before
Time said, whenever Lion King came out, they were like,
what did they do? They just ripped off our movie,

(24:16):
But it was more impactful, It had better songs, it
had more memorable characters. So even if they did rip
it off, they ripped it off really well. But also
in ninety four you had The Usual Suspects, a movie
that blew my mind and still will blow my mind
even though I know what is going to happen. Has
one of the best twists of all time, the Shawshank Redemption.

(24:37):
The actor who had the biggest year in nineteen ninety
four was Jim Carrey with the movie we mentioned earlier,
Dumb and Dumber, but also had a spintera pet detective,
and The Mask all come out in nineteen ninety four.
You also had indie darlings like Clerks, one of the
greatest action movies at the nineties, Speed Interview with the Vampire,
True Lies, Clear in Present Danger D two, The Mighty Ducks,

(25:00):
Little Giants. This was an era of great sports family comedies.
Oh Little Giants is an amazing movie. Has one of
the greatest sports villains of all time with the Dallas Cowboys.
Even though I'm a fan of the Dallas Cowboys at
the time, they're kind of the Villain, even though EMMTT
Smith is in this movie. You also have movies like
The page Master. That movie also feels like does anybody

(25:22):
else remember The Page Master? Or Am I the only
one that watched that movie as a kid with Micaulay Culkin,
Major League two, Blank Check The Jungle Book, which was
the live action movie in the nineties, and it even
had the best good bad movies The Flintstones, I don't
believe is a good movie, but I still watched it.
I still loved it. Movies like The Little Rascals Street Fighter.

(25:43):
As bad as that movie was, it's still a good
bad movie in nineteen ninety four, and other Adam Sandler
movies like Airheads that is nineteen ninety four at number two,
before I get to number one, I have an honorable mention,
and that honorable mention goes to two thousand and nine.
I feel like this was the last year that film
was really unified. It was right on the cusp of

(26:06):
us being so consumed by social media and YouTube. The
iPhone came out a couple years before this in two
thousand and seven, and I feel like this was the
last year, at least in film, that we were all
unified and watching the same things because we were just
before that era of there being so many avenues on

(26:27):
where to watch things. Once Netflix came around and really
started dominating with streaming, we were still going to the theater,
all watching the same movies and then later watching it
on Blu Ray. That's why I feel like two thousand
and nine to me is very significant. My top five
movies of this year were Up in the Air, which
is my favorite George Clooney movie. Number four is Avatar

(26:48):
and again I think right place, right time that went
on to be one of the highest grossing movies of
all time. And number three I would have up at
number two The Hangover, which I believe to be the
last great American comedy classic, again that we all watched collectively,
back when we would all go watch a movie and
then everybody would just be quoting it because we all
went to go see the same thing. But at number one,

(27:10):
speaking of Quentin Tarantino earlier, even though I believe Pulp
Fiction is his masterpiece, at number one, and Glorious Bastard's
is my favorite Quentin Tarantino movie, one of my favorite
in theater experiences. Oh, I had so much joy while
watching that movie and rooting on the good guys, and
Christoph Waltz was just such a great villain. And again
we had Brad Pitt be and Brad Pitt again. But

(27:33):
honorable mention goes to two thousand and nine. But at
number one I have two thousand and seven. This is
the year where I really fell in love with movies.
If it wouldn't have been for two thousand and seven,
I would not be here today doing this podcast. I
was sixteen years old. I was watching movies all the time.

(27:55):
Also what era I refer to as the burn DVD age,
where that it was just kind of running rampant. I
remember having one of those binders where you would put CDs,
but it was all filled with DVDs. I had a
friend who made them, and it was just the gift
that kept on giving because every week it would just
give me another stack of movies. So I watched so
many movies in two thousand and seven, and it was

(28:16):
the year that I truly fell in love with movies,
where I went from saying I like movies to final
saying I love the movies because I started to see
the inner workings of what it took to make these
It was the year I started paying to directors and
paying attention to cinematography, because I started noticing all these details,
and I started to wonder, like, why do I like

(28:37):
this movie? What is it about it that actually sticks
out to me? I started to watch movies more analytically,
and this was the year that all those lights and
sensors in my brain just started going off, where I
started asking more, where I started watching movies and not
just paying attention to the cast, but also who produced it,
who wrote it, who directed it. All those things in

(28:58):
two thousand and seven started to matter to me. So
that's why I went from just being a kid who
watched movies to being a kid who now watched the films.
And now that kind of sounds like, ah, you loser,
called movies. Films are all movies. It's all the same thing.
But that's the only way I can describe that of
that switch in my brain that if I wouldn't have
had this year with such great movies, I would not

(29:19):
be in this position now. I would have never gotten
to twenty fourteen, which was another year on this list,
or twenty nineteen, So in no way would I still
be here in twenty twenty five talking about movies. If
it wasn't for two thousand and seven. My top five
movies of this year at number five is The Simpsons Movie,
which is funny because I was just talking about how
I started paying attention to films and talking about directors,

(29:41):
and then at number five, I have the Simpsons movie.
But I am such a huge Simpsons fan and I'd
been waiting for this my entire life. I loved all
the promotion leading up to this movie. It felt like
an event. Seven to eleven's were changed into quickie marts,
and I remember going to see this and it blew
my mind to see the Simpsons curse, some of the
scenes where you see Bart in ways you didn't think

(30:03):
you were going to ever see Bart. It just felt epic.
It felt like the perfect story, and it just felt
like something in my lifetime that I would never witness.
At number four, I have Transformers. This movie changed me
a lot. This movie also had a big impact on
cinema and summer blockbusters, where I just associate watching a

(30:23):
Transformers movie in the summer as a rite of passage.
I just believe that that is a pillar of cinema
more so than any other action franchise. If there is
a year where a Transformers movie comes out from now
until forever, I don't care how bad these movies get.
I am going to watch it because it feels like
a rite of passage. It feels like an event. Hearing

(30:45):
Peter Cullen's voice in a theater as Optimist Prime through
the booming theater speakers and seeing all the carnage of
Transformers metal on screen and the explosions from Michael Bay
that feels like summer to me. So I'm always gonna
chase that. It's like a drug to me. I had
my first hit in two thousand and seven, and I'm
still chasing that high ever since. At number three Spider

(31:07):
Man three, at the time, this movie got dragged, and
it wasn't until maybe the last five years or so,
especially whenever Toby Maguire came back, that I feel that
Spider Man three finally got its flowers. Yes, it gets
parodied a lot, it gets poked fun at a lot,
But I love this movie when it first came out
because we got black Suit Spider Man. Maybe I didn't

(31:28):
love because the depiction of Venom, which was my favorite
villain from the nineties, wasn't really portrayed in the way
I wanted him to. I would not have cast to
Ford Grace to play Venom, but it was what it
was and it did so many things for me that
I loved. So at number three, I had Spider Man
three and number two is Juno. If I had to
pick one movie from this year to really define what

(31:50):
pop culture was, to really define what music was in
two thousand and seven in fashion, I would show you Juno.
I love everything this movie, from the wardrobe, from the
quirky characters, from the memorable quotes. In two thousand and seven,
it was so important to have a quirky movie with
these really great quotes that you could put on a
T shirt that you could sell at hot topic, And

(32:12):
that is what I think about when I think about Juno.
Also has really great music and a movie that I
probably watched the most that year and it still holds up.
I love Juno at number two. At number one, I
Have No Country for Old Men, which would also enter
into my top ten movies of all time, And this
was the one movie specifically, like I was mentioning earlier,

(32:33):
what changed in me in two thousand and seven, This
was really the movie that did it. You have one
of the greatest movie villains of all time played by
Javier Bardem. Josh Brolin is fantastic in this movie. Woody
Harrelson is fantastic in this movie. I also loved that
the Cohen Brothers brought people who weren't real actors, but
they worked and lived in these towns that they were

(32:54):
filming in in Texas to add that level of Texas authenticity.
My favorite scene added this entire movie is Anton Sugar,
who was the villain, going to pay for his gas
at the gas station and him having that encounter with
the clerk there, and it's just so simple but just
such great dialogue that there's so much tension in it,

(33:14):
and that guy is the only guy to not die
at the hands of Anton Sugar. He does not know
how close he came to death to him that day.
Some weird guy just came in with a funny haircut.
He wanted coin toss and that was it. But he
did not know in that moment how bad that interaction
could have gone, and just how much tension you can
build just through great dialogue and through great acting. A

(33:36):
perfect scene. No Country for Old Man my favorite movie
from my favorite year two thousand and seven, A comeback
and give my spoiler free review on Weapons. Let's get
into it now. A spoiler free movie review of Weapons.
He's gonna keep it very, very spoiler free. Weapons is
now entering that over hype stage because when it first

(33:59):
came out opening week and theaters were packed, Our theater
was packed. Everybody was going crazy for this movie, big
word of mouth. But now here we are, you're gonna
start to see those people who are going to witness
it now and they're gonna be like, that's what everybody
was raving about. That movie is so overhyped. But that
is okay with me because I would rather a really

(34:19):
great movie be overhyped than have to fight for a
really great movie that nobody has seen. Because there have
been those this year where I'm like, everybody, you gotta
go check out this movie, and everybody just doesn't want to.
The movie doesn't do great at the box office, and
then maybe six months down the line, when it's on
a streaming service, then people start to catch wind of it.
You could even argue maybe that's what happened a little
bit with Barbarian Bam that cemented Zachkreigor as a really

(34:42):
great director. People started to see how much of a
visionary he is, and he is now up there on
the horror directors I'm really paying attention to. I think
Jordan Peele is still at the top of that list
because he is somebody who is more established than some
of the other people working now. But he was a
person who wanted this movie, fired some of his management
team because he could not secure this film. And now

(35:06):
I know exactly why he wanted this movie because it
is next level horror. And Zach Craiger is somebody I
really enjoy now because he's only forty four years old.
But just hearing him talk about this movie, how much
attention to detail he has. So what this movie is
about if you haven't heard about it yet, Seventeen kids
go missing in this one classroom. Julia Gardner is the

(35:27):
teacher in the classroom. The parents want answers, they are
blaming her, and it is up to this town to
unravel the mystery why all these kids went missing at
two seventeen in the morning, exact same time, exact same night,
in the exact same way. But nobody knows exactly why
it also stars Josh Brolin, who plays one of the

(35:48):
missing kids' dads, Alden Ehrenreich, who is a police officer
in the town, Benanic Wong. So right there, you have
Silver Surfer, you have Thanos, you have the guy from Ironheart,
and you also have Wong from Doctor Strange. Also rounding
out the cast, you have Austin Abrams, who plays a
junkie in the movie. And let me just start with
the cast just perfectly cast it. I couldn't see anybody
else in any of these roles. And I know Pedro

(36:10):
Pascal was supposed to play the role of Josh Brolin.
I am so glad he didn't get it. And it's
not that I don't like Pedro Pascal. It's not that
I have Pedro fatigue. I watched all three of his
big movies this summer. He's a fantastic actor. Because I
actually think that if Pedro Pascal was in the same role,
it would not have hit the same way. There was
just something about his character that was more nuanced than

(36:31):
I feel that Pedro Pascal could pull off right now.
And the reason he didn't do it is because he
had too many projects. Obviously, with all the commitments he
has right now. So they had to recast almost this
entire movie except for Austin Abrams, who was there from
the very beginning. And not only did they give great performances,
their characters were so well written and so well developed

(36:53):
that I could put myself into the shoes of any
of these people in this town and I would know
what they love, what they hate, what triggers them. They
all have very unique flaws, which is something that I
really took away from Weapons is that there's not one
character that is inherently the protagonist. Nobody in this movie
is necessarily a good or bad person in the story,

(37:15):
because I think they've all been through something traumatic, they
all have some kind of blame pointed to them at
some point because of something they've done wrong. That there's
not one person that you're necessarily rooting for, And I
think having that nuance of humans that have some good
qualities about them but also can be kind of shady
in other ways is what makes this movie feel more

(37:38):
real life. That if this actually happened in a town,
you wouldn't just have a good Kuy, a good Samaritan
out there trying to figure this thing out. There would
be some very mixed feelings between everybody in this town,
and that is really what you see. You don't just
see one shiny, perfect person trying to figure this thing out,
trying to save the day. So not only were all

(38:00):
their performances on the screen, I just believe all their
characters were so well written on the page, which goes
back to what I say about Zach Kreiger knowing his
vision before he goes into his movie, not trying to
find it in the process, and I think that is
what really resonated with me. And not only that, but
the movie just instantly dives into it. You start with
the girl explaining the story how everybody went missing, and

(38:23):
then you are right there in it. I love the
format of the movie as it dives into each character individually,
which is probably another reason why you do get to
know these characters so well, is because it fully dives
into where they were, where all these things started to happen,
and show you all the things they have going on
in their life. It doesn't really waste a whole lot

(38:45):
of time with this crazy backstory of what happened before
they went missing, diving into the characters backstories that way,
because it doesn't tell you. It just shows you by
just letting you live a day in their life. And
I think that way of handling the story perfect and
I feel like that added way more to the mystery
because the movie was so unpredictable and in an era

(39:07):
of filmmaking right now, especially in horror, where sometimes you
can tell, Okay, I kind of see where this story
is going, we're gonna get to this final battle. We're
gonna all have it figured out by the end. I
didn't know who was about what, I didn't know what
was going on, but I was so in for the
ride that in the two hour runtime, I never checked out.

(39:28):
The horror elements were also fantastic, and I kind of
knew going into it it wasn't gonna be a full
on supernatural jump scare movie, although it did have those
elements in there as well, it was really more of
a horror mystery. I also feel like the movie didn't
use a bunch of cheap tactics to scare you. There
were some more of the traditional elements, a couple of

(39:50):
jump scares here and there, but I think the movie
just had a sinister DNA to it that aside from
a couple of things early on, it didn't really rely
on that. It also did a fantastic job of not
showing you everything in the trailer, which is something that
horror movies are notorious for, because there were some elements
that I saw from different portions of the movie in
the trailer, but even then, having all the pieces to

(40:13):
this puzzle kind of laid out for you, you still had
no idea how those things were going to play out.
I think Austin Abrams was low key the MVP of
this movie, even though his character didn't have the most
massive role. Out of anybody else, I would still say
Julia Gardner was my favorite part of the movie. Josh
Bolin right up there with her, but I think his
presence brought something that was just completely unexpected out of

(40:36):
anybody else in the town. You don't really see characters
like that. And he also brought a little bit of
comedic relief. That was another thing I wasn't really expecting.
There were moments in this movie where people were laughing,
where even at its most sinister times, there was a
little bit a levity and it wasn't cheesy, it wasn't forced,
It kind of happened naturally. There weren't moments that it

(40:59):
felt like, Oh, this is a punchline moment, or this
is something we're gonna do deliberately to make you laugh.
But I think just the way these moments were sprinkled
in where you kind of took yourself back a little
bit and thought, hey, that's kind of funny, made me laugh,
it made everybody else laugh, And I think Austin Abrams's
character was a big portion of those laughs. And I
think what I love the most about Zach Kraiger now

(41:20):
that he's going to be somebody that I pay attention
to every single film. Because I wasn't the biggest fan
of Barbarian, I enjoyed some elements of that movie. It
felt a little bit unconventional to me, much like some
people are gonna go watch Weapons and feel like, oh,
this is so overhyped. That was kind of Barbarian for me.
What I do love about him is how much he
just has a passion for filmmaking. He said his three

(41:42):
biggest influences going into this movie were Magnolia, Hereditarian Prisoners,
which I was like, those are all contemporary movies that
I feel like the general public has still seen. So
to have somebody making movies with those types of influences
and be able to make something that pools from those
inspirations but feel entirely different. I think we're in good
hands when it comes to horror. I think we're also

(42:04):
in good hands when it comes to horror because of
all the success that Warner Brothers has been having, which
I've been telling you guys, horror is where it is
when it comes to creativity. It's also where it is
where it comes to strong female leads. Oftentimes that is
the only place I can go where I can see
somebody like Julia Gardner have a role where they're not

(42:24):
typecasts in any way, where their characters aren't pigeonholed. But
Warner Brothers became the first studio in history to have
six consecutive forty plus million dollar openings. And if you
look at this list, you have Minecraft with one hundred
and sixty two point eight million, Sinners with forty eight million,
Final Destination, Bloodlines with fifty million, f One with fifty

(42:44):
seven million, Superman with the one hundred and twenty five million,
and Weapons with forty two point five million dollars. And
out of those six movies, fifty percent of them are
original movies, so Warner Brothers still chases those big ips.
If you look at Superman, Final Destination obviously is a
long running franchise, Minecraft is a video game adaptation. But

(43:06):
the threat in all these movies is that they also
have really great directors who I believe truly are visionaries.
And I think that is something that they have prioritized
more than other studios and is why they are having
so much success as they are finding filmmakers that know
how to create a spectacle, and they also make movies
where it starts with story first. It just has to

(43:29):
James Gunn, who is a part of Warner Brothers, is
the biggest proponent of that right now, saying we're not
going to make a superhero movie unless we have the story.
We're not just going to put some character out into
the theaters because it has a big fandom. Man, We're
not throwing in random cameos or post credit scenes just
to introduce characters. If there's not a story there, we're

(43:52):
not making the movie. And I think that is something
that Marvel and other studios need to learn. In this
world where a lot of people say they're superhero fatigue.
People have been saying that everything is a reboot and
a remake. For I think probably ever since I've been alive,
people have been saying nothing is original anymore, and those
movies still make a lot of money. It's not right
now that we're sick of everything being part of a

(44:15):
franchise or being a reboot. Is that we are sick
of mediocre movies with lame stories that go nowhere. Even
Josh Brolin was doing press for this movie and saying,
I don't get on streaming services. Everything on there is
so boring. Go see a movie like Weapons that is
truly unique and worthy of your time. So I think

(44:36):
for Warner Brothers they have figured that out with finding
great directors who know how to make these great stories
come to life. So Weapons, for me, it was an
almost perfect movie. It's as close as you can get.
I think I've just been more hesitant now about handing
out fives, because now I truly feel that a five
comes with time. It comes with seeing a movie maybe

(44:58):
for a second time in theaters, or spending more time
with it at home than it becomes one I throw
into the rotation. So I feel like this is one
that could grow. But I also think that Zach Kreiger
hasn't put out his best movie yet. So for Weapons,
I gave it four out of five kids running with
their arms out like they're holding heavy bags at groceries
four point five out of five of those. It's time

(45:22):
to head down to movie mikes. Traylor Paul, the Hunter
becomes the Hunted and Predator bad Lands. When I saw
the trailer for this movie in theaters when it opened up,
I was like, Ah, here we go, another generic sci
fi movie. I haven't been one to dive into any
of the Predator or Alien movies, but one movie earlier

(45:44):
this year may have changed my mind because this is
coming to us from the same director of Predator, Killer
of Killers, which was an animated movie on Hulu, and
when I sat down to watch that movie, I just
love animation. Been talking about that a lot in the
last couple of weeks. I'm just so drawn to it.
I think you can tell such great, powerful stories with it.

(46:05):
So I thought, Okay, I'm not fully into Predator, but
you have a new R rated animated movie in the
Predator universe. Let me check it out. And I freaking
loved it. It is right up my alley has very
sophisticated animation, some great action, and this is coming to
us from director Dan Kratchenberg, who also did Prey, which

(46:26):
is also a pretty big hit for Hulu, and ten
Cloverfield Lane, which was a pretty good Cloverfield movie, one
that also kind of went under the radar with John Goodman.
The original Cloverfield is another movie I just have an
affinity for back when found footage movies, we're kind of
having a moment in the late two thousands. But Predator
Badlands is not an animated movie. It is a live
action movie coming out on November seventh. It's about this

(46:49):
alien hunter who gets cast out from their klan and
then forms this unlikely alliance with this android was played
by el Fanning, except there's a little bit of a
twist on her character that you see in the trailer
that we'll talk about more. They go on the journey
together and there's another bigger predator out to kill both
of them. It looks like this movie's coming out on
November seventh. Before we talk about it more, here's just

(47:09):
a little bit of the Predator bad Lands trailer. And
you've come to the most dangerous planet in the universe.
If you're after a creature that can't be killed, the
definitive apex predators. I could help you. Well, good luck
with your journey here. You're not the predator, here the prey.

(47:35):
We might not be alone in this hunt. This trailer
got me hyped. I immediately thought, when does this movie
come out? Because I cannot watch it soon enough. But
it starts El Fanning, who you hear mostly in the
trailer here because she is the one speaking English. She
is an android, and the reveal in the trailer as

(47:56):
as soon as Predator picks her up, she only has
half a her android bodies, so just the torso. It's
her torso and her arms and her head. It looks
like she's just been ripped apart. At the very beginning
of the trailer, she seems to be inside of some
repair chamber, so somebody had it out for her and
I can't wait to find out what happens more with
her story. But this movie only has two people listed

(48:19):
in the cast, l Fanning and Demetrius Schuster Colomuntaghi who
plays the Predator, but he doesn't even speak English in
this movie. He actually learned an entirely different language that
was written for this movie by the same person who
created the language used in the Avatar movies, And those
are the kind of details that I really buy into

(48:39):
because this actor is primarily a stunt performer, which in
this case is probably all you needed. But in order
to play this part, they learned this Predator language. And
even though this movie is in the Predator universe, which
isn't directly a part of the Alien universe, although they
combine themselves a lot, a lot of the companies and
characters kind of go go back and forth between each other,

(49:01):
and I think those franchises fit really well together. If
your favorite franchise is Alien or Predator, I feel like
you are a really cool person because you don't care
about the flashy things, Because I think the main ones
when it comes to sci fi franchises, you're either a
Star Wars fan or you're a trekkie, and those are
just very two distinct They're the big boys in town

(49:24):
when it comes to sci fi franchises. But if you
are quietly into Alien or Predator movies, I just feel
like you don't care about anything. You don't care about
being cool. If you are into these movies, I also
feel like your favorite sport is like baseball. That's not
the sexiest of sports. It's not football, it's not basketball.
But you're just appreciate something that puts as much detail

(49:46):
into movies like this movie is doing, because they are
trying to expand this universe kind of in the same
world of where the animated movie I was just talking
about exists in this new type of world that they
are building. And I think Hulu is doing this with
twentieth Century Student because they have this property, so also
using the same director who did Pray. All these movies
kind of tie into each other. So I am enjoying

(50:09):
this entire universe that they are starting to build. And
I think if you're hopping into this right now, it
doesn't feel like you need to catch up with the
whole lot. You could maybe go watch Pray, go watch
Killer Killers, the animated movie, and then go see this
one in theaters, and now you are into this world,
which this trailer does a really good job at showing
you how immersive the world is going to be. And

(50:31):
that is really what stuck out to me about this trailer,
because what we heard in that was a little bit
of the story of them meeting him, not wanting to
team up with her. They are able to understand each other.
You see the subtitles of what the Predator is saying. Essentially,
he doesn't want to believe that he is now being hunted.
He's like, no, nobody hunts me. I am the Predator.

(50:52):
I'm going to take this person down. She tells him, like, no,
this person who is after you cannot be beat. So
I think we're going to see him, like we see
in the trailer, go up against somebody really big, and
to have somebody who is an unstoppable force that, for
the most part in this franchise is the hunter hunting
the humans. This movie is flipping the script and taking

(51:14):
that antagonist and making them the protagonist. So I always
love a good anti hero story. Maybe it's a story
of redemption of somebody who has done bad things in
the past and somebody who probably doesn't really want to
do good things, but man, they are not gonna let
somebody take them out at something that they are known for.
I first saw the trailer when we went to Fantastic
Four and we saw that in Imax, and seeing this

(51:37):
on a screen of that size just felt right. It
felt like this movie should have come out in the
dead of summer. But I think because of how competitive
the twenty twenty five summer blockbuster season was, they maybe
decided with the franchise like this that, even though it
does have some power to its ip, it's not a Superman,
it's not a Fantastic Four, it's not a Jurassic Park.

(52:00):
Putting it out later in the year in November, I
think maybe sets it up for having the most chance
of success, because if I know nerds, they love coming
out to support any movie that they want to see
at any time of the year. But for people who
are just casually going to movies, I think that is
a good time to capitalize on things because in November

(52:21):
we get a lot of the Oscar bait movies, we
get some family movies that gear up more towards Thanksgiving.
But kind of that sweet spot is that November seventh
weekend where we've seen all the horror movies we wanted
to see in October, and I think once October thirty
first hits for a lot of people, they're over that.
Even though I believe horror can be seen year round,

(52:43):
it doesn't have a specific time for me. But they
tend to put out a lot of horror movies, specifically
around Halloween, and then once November hit, you're like, oh,
that's disgusting. I don't want to see that anymore. So
November seventh for a Predator bad Lands movie, I think
is also fantastic timing. I think it could really capitalize
with some strong marketing because I think this movie does

(53:04):
have the power to be a hit because it is
the seventh film in this mainline series, in the ninth
film overall in the franchise. I can't wait to see
all the other characters that are gonna arise also hunting them.
There might be some callbacks to Pray, which that movie
took back way in seventeen nineteen. It's not a sequel
to that movie. It is still a standalone movie, but

(53:25):
I feel like there might be some little connection there,
at least a nod to that movie, because we do
see some Easter EGX that a out the trailer, and
I don't know why I'm excited just to see a
movie that is going to force people to read subtitles
in theaters. But again, this movie is coming out on
November seventh, And that was this week's edition of Movie
li Frame or bar and that is going to do

(53:46):
it for another episode here of the podcast. But before
I go, I gotta give my listeners shout out of
the week. This week, I'm going over to my email,
which you can always send me an email, Moviemike d
at gmail dot com. All my socials are always linked
in the episode notes, but this week I'm shouting out Tim,
who wrote me and said love the podcast and thought
you'd be the best person to ask. So I keep

(54:07):
seeing all these offers for one month free of different
streaming services, and I'm always tempted, but I never sign up.
Why because they always ask for a credit card up
front and I don't fully trust it. My question is,
how do these free trials really work? Am I being
overly cautious? I just feel like the second I enter
my credit card info, I'm going to forget to cancel
and get charged. Do you use these free trials? Is

(54:29):
there a safe way to take advantage of them without
getting burned? Signed Tim, And here's my answer. I get
the hesitation. I hate putting in my credit card info
for a free trial because I'm, like you said, it's free.
But the reason they do that is because as soon
as that one month is done, they're going to charge
your credit card and for the most part, continue to

(54:49):
charge you every month. You've just signed up at that point,
but they give you that first month free as incentive.
The time most recently I've done this was last year
Peacock ran a promotion during Black Friday. It was like
twenty dollars for an entire year of Peacock, and I thought,
to myself, even if I don't use it that often,
twenty bucks is a great deal for an entire year

(55:11):
of a streaming service. And that was also around the
time when the NFL was starting to put games specifically
on Peacock, also with WWE putting their live events on Peacock,
which that is going to go away next year. It's
going to move over all the way to ESPN. But
I thought, for that low amount, I could buy it,
and even if I don't use it, it doesn't feel

(55:32):
like a waste of money, because what is twenty bucks
spread out over a year. So what I also did,
I love scheduling me in email. I schedule myself on
email to cancel it as soon as I hit sign up,
one year away from the date that it's going to
charge me. So like the day before he's going to
charge me, I have an email schedule telling me to

(55:53):
go cancel it. Peacock, at least, in my experience, has
been an easy one to cancel. That is the one
streaming service that I've just not kept insistently. Sometimes I'll
have it, sometimes i'll cancel it because sometimes they have
exclusive movies that I want to watch and I'll get
it for like a month, or I'll utilize a free
trial or take advantage of a sale like this. But
that one lets you cancel pretty easy. I don't know

(56:13):
how easy some of the other ones are to cancel,
because haven't had to do that. Although sometimes when you cancel,
they're like, no, don't go well over the price. So
my advice to you is you might be a little
bit overly cautious. They won't charge you. They can't just
straight up charge you if you cancel before that, So
just schedule an email, schedule a text on your phone,
write it on your calendar, depending on how old school

(56:35):
you are, and they will not charge you. Just make
sure you have that reminder because if you don't, you're
gonna get charged. And there are so many streaming services
right now, I hate the way everybody is shifting things.
It's getting annoying. I don't know what I have and
what I don't have. Some things don't even feel exclusive anymore.
We're basically just going back to cable. So I think

(56:55):
that's the way this is going to go down in
three to five years, where all these companies realize that
they would make more money if they all just merge together.
So we're going to go back to cable eventually. It's
just not going to be like it used to be, hopefully,
But they're not a scam. Just remember to cancel before
they charge you. So thank you for that question. If
you ever have questions like that, you can email me
like Tim did, or you can send me a DM

(57:16):
even if it's not directly podcast related. You just have
a question you want to know, hit me up. Thank
you for listening, thank you for being subscribed, And until
next time, go out and watch Good Boobies and I
will talk to you later
